Have y’all been up to a place called Pretty Place? There’s a little church there facing the mountains in the back with no back wall. Overlooks the Smokies .
I'll definitely confirm that US 276 is one of the best motorcycling roads in the US, and one that almost no one knows about. It doesn't have a nickname that I'm aware of, no one sells patches or t-shirts for it - but it will kick your butt if you don't respect it. Personally, I think it's a better road than the Tail of the Dragon, and rivals anything from elsewhere around the country. I discovered US 276 back in 2019, when our HOG chapter took a 9 day trip to Charleston and back. Our second day stop was Maggie Valley, and then the first half of day 3 - a transit day between Maggie Valley and Charleston, mind you - was US 276 from Maggie Valley to Travelers Rest. 2 up with luggage on a 2017 Heritage. That's how I was introduced to it. Thankfully, we'd done the Devils Triangle and the Tail of the Dragon the day before (again, a transit day), so I'd had practice on riding the switchbacks before I tackled US 276, and had the brake/clutch/shifter dance down pat. I've ridden it a couple of times since, and it's now near the top of the list of my favorite motorcycle roads.
Nice video. Thanks for speeding it up so I could enjoy the whole ride and if I saw a part I wanted to see closer, it's no problem slowing down on my end. All those tunnels were pretty cool too.
SC slam notwithstanding, a pretty entertaining video😁

Awesome riding! Thanks for the tips about 276. Currently planning a group ride for June down to Maggie Valley and staying there for about 4 days. 👍🏻

Beautiful ride. I'm jealous 😫
Awesome video. I can’t wait to take this route.
Great vid! And awesome exhaust, as always! :) (especially in the tunnels)
Thank you Sir!
I can't believe you didn't show SC from Caesars Head.
👍👍
Cool signage. Da Wabbit rules
I’m 10 minutes from SC and the roads are terrible. I’d much rather ride in NC which is about an hour from my home in north Ga
U are right. ga and NC much better road conditions

Thanks for watching
